I have started a great many games over the last 25 years, but have finished about a quarter of them. Typically, one of two events will take place. I will get stuck, which leads me to become frustrated and move on to a different game. Or, I will get a new game, which grabs my attention and causes any previously played and unfinished game to remain in that state.
The games I have finished are almost all RPGs:
The SSI Gold Box D&D games
Baldur's Gate 1
Baldur's Gate 2
Planescape: Torment
Icewind Dale I
Icewind Dale 2
Oblivion (but not Morrowind, although I have spent over 200 hours playing it and all of the expansions)
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Knights of the Old Republic
Knights of the Old Republic 2
Jade Empire
Neverwinter Nights (I have two fights left in NWN2 that I never get around to finishing)
Mass Effect
Crackdown
Lionheart
Sacred
Diablo (which I do not count as an RPG, but as an action game with a few RPG elements)
I have easily ten times as many unfinished games as ones I've finished, which is why I have stopped buying newly released titles. I'd like to finish some of the games I already have before buying any more. The only exception I am willing to make at this time is for Fallout 3, which I plan to pick up this week, even though I've not finished the first one and have never played, but own, the second one.
